Postmodernism arose as a theoretical movement to challenge modernity's presumptions and concepts as well as the idea of being universally correct. Postmodernism posits that the significant modifications made to modernism's institutions and lifestyles mean that contemporary society is not the same as "modern" society. Employing secondary sources, this paper examines the postmodernist approach to women, development theory, and practice. This paper was analysed using the postdevelopment theory, which questions the conventional Western development paradigm. The study revealed that one of postmodernism's major contributions is its critique of the dominant narratives that influence how we perceive social, political, and economic issues. Postmodern feminism contends that these narratives frequently leave out the experiences and viewpoints of women and other marginalised groups. Hence, the feminist interpretation of postmodernism recognises the diversity of women's experiences, with multiple interconnections with age, race, culture, ability, education, and immigration status such that political measures at the international, national, and local levels are required to protect women without overshadowing the appreciation of differences. Further, this paper argues that while postmodernist feminism provides insightful perspectives, it is not without criticism.
